Fundamentals
Configure your controller and AP using either the Web User Interface (WebUI) or the command line interface
(CLI).
WebUI
Each controller supports up to 22 simultaneous WebUI connections. The WebUI is accessible through a standard
Web browser from a remote management console or workstation. The WebUI includes configuration wizards that
step you through easy-to-follow configuration tasks. The wizards are:
l AP Wizard—basic AP configuration
l Controller Wizard—basic controller configuration
l LAN Wizard—creating and configuring new WLAN(s) associated with the “default” ap-group
l License Wizard—installation and activation of software licenses
In addition to the wizards, the WebUI includes a Dashboard monitoring feature that provides enhanced visibility
into your wireless network’s performance and usage. This allows you to easily locate and diagnose WLAN issues. For
details on the WebUI Dashboard, see Dashboard Monitoring.
CLI
The CLI is a text-based interface accessible from a local console connected to the serial port on the controller or
through a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session.
NOTE: By default, you access the CLI from the serial port or from an SSH session. You must explicitly enable Telnet on your
controller in order to access the CLI via a Telnet session.
When entering commands remember that:
l commands are not case sensitive
l the space bar will complete your partial keyword
